Widespread cumulus fields forming across central eastern VA and UAHCI products capturing this much better than CIMMS in this case, which is a very moist, weakly unstable, but uncapped environment (almost tropical). While most new CI IDs are very scattered to isold in nature, now beginning to see some banding or clustering, which actually matches very well with at least one 4km WRF (12Z run for SPC…see second image above), and will be watching to see if the IDing of this banding of CI zones within otherwise wideapread cu field helps to identify where stronger storms could soon be forming in this kind of environment.
